      Wouldn’t that tag end up on the majority of the posts?

         …I don’t think so.

         There are kinda two concepts here, and I think untangling them must be done before creating either tag. Thanks for bringing this up.

         The first tag is like [this article about a topic, event, or news item in the open source/FLOSS world]. Somebody proposed [foss-meta]. My example links are examples of this tag.

         The second is a tag like [this project that I’m linking to or the project this article about is itself properly open source/FLOSS].

      While I agree that this would be a good tag, you’re going to need to find articles that are currently tagged poorly but that would fit well with this tag.

         Good idea.

         • https://lobste.rs/s/zmsmsr/github_requests_input_regarding_new

         Many but not all of these:

         • https://lobste.rs/search?q=foss
         • https://lobste.rs/search?q=floss
         • https://lobste.rs/search?q="open+source”

         While looking those up I confirmed what has been said: the stuff that could go in the proposed tag frequently lands under [culture].
